Biography of Julia Chanel

Her real name is Julia Pinel. It is not known whether there was a deliberate intent in the choice of the pseudonym, but it is possible that Koco Chanel's "sister" Julia Chanel still wanted to be.

She was born on November 3, 1973 in the suburbs of Paris. Her father was an African, and her mother was of Italian-French origin. Although, according to Julia, the country life has left pleasant memories, from the very childhood she wanted to escape from there. She had to grow up early, because her father worked hard, and her mother had problems with alcohol.

Before starting her very unusual career, Chanel managed to learn a language specialty in one of the universities in Paris and dream about the work of an interpreter. However, she left her studies, preferring to shoot her in films.

At the moment, Chanel lives in London, where he brings up his daughter. Julia says that she always loved the English, because she considers them to be very creative and open people, that's why she decided to settle in England.

Career in cinema

In the porn industry, Julia Chanel came when she was barely 18. As she told in one of the interviews, this was not the desperate step of an ambitious girl who wants to break out into people at any cost, but a deliberate and deliberate decision. The first steps she helped to make the German producer Nils Molitor. Then she went to the United States, where she starred in the famous porn actors John Leslie and Ed Powers. Further, her path lay in Italy, where Julia worked with Mario Salieri.

In France, she returned already a star. In 1998, she received the Hot d'Or award - one of the most famous film awards in the porn industry, organized by the magazine Hot Vidéo, the ceremony of delivery which took place from 1992 to 2001 in Cannes. At the age of 25 Julia leaves the porn industry, but for a long time she participates in erotic performances in many countries of the world.

Also, Julia Chanel managed to become a very popular erotic model and was shot for such magazines as Playboy and Gallerie.

Television projects

After finishing her career in the porn industry, the girl tries herself as an actress on television. The first film by Julia Chanel was the comedy "Les Truffes" directed by Bernard Noer with Jean Reno in the title role, which eventually became the most famous film with her participation. Then came the small roles in the comedic drama "Coup de Vice" by Patrick Levy with Sami Nasery and the film "Brothers: Red Roulette" (Frères: La roulette rouge) by Olivier Daana. In total, Chanel starred in about fifteen television films, including TV shows.

In addition to filming in films, she for several years was the leading TV show "Close-up" with Jackie Jayet. Having gained experience as a presenter, Julia created her own TV program Donative inscriptions. In the late 90's, Canal + invited her to lead the show, which was eventually named after her.

Music and Literature

Having worked several years on TV, Julia gradually turns her gaze to the music sphere. In 2001, she received an offer to become the leading popular TV show Hip Hop Channel, which she gladly accepts. There she felt herself in her place and had time to get acquainted with many stars of hip-hop: Alicia Keys, Guy Waku, Cutee B and others. During this period, she thinks about trying herself as a singer.

Some time later she recorded her own album Colors with Jerome Marron, the creator of the record label BeeCooL. However, soon Jerome suddenly dies. For Julia, it was a big shock, because they were good friends and he gave her a lot of support. But she decides not to despair. After assembling his team, Chanel founded the label Black Sheep Records and continues to record hip-hop music. Later, she begins to act as a producer, supporting other performers. She also starred in the clips of well-known hip-hop artists - Menelik, Method Man, Stomi Bugsy, Silmaris, and her voice sounds on the albums of Driver Le Grand Chelem and Joey Starr Authentik.

Julia did not overlook the literary sphere either. From under her pen came the autobiographical book L'Enfer vu du ciel, which was released by the French publishing house Blanche. Julia says she wrote this book for her daughter so that she could learn everything about her mother's life from the first mouth, not from what people around her say about her.

Among other things, in 2010, Julia Chanel created a dating site for single people, called Mecacroquer. Strangely enough, the actress claims that she has very idealistic ideas about love: she believes in a long love for life and wants to help people find each other by her website.
